Mobile Data Usage While Using FieldEdge

Overview

This article gives a single reference comparison for how much cellular data FieldEdge can use relative to a common maps app, and explains how campaigns can measure their own usage if data caps are a concern.

In one side-by-side measurement, data use was approximately:

App / activity
Approx. data

FieldEdge

5.3 MB

Google Maps (turn-by-turn directions)

6.28 MB

Note: Actual usage varies with list size, time online, map use, and sync activity—treat any published figure as illustrative, not a guarantee for every session.

If you are concerned about data usage

We recommend running a short pilot with a few volunteers. Have them canvass—or simulate part of a typical shift the way they normally would.
